Try this code:
<pre> <?php
$Arr = array(); $Arr['self'] = &$Arr; var_dump ( $Arr );
$serdata = serialize ($Arr); $Arr2 = unserialize ( $serdata ); echo "\n\n"; var_dump ( $Arr2 );
?> </pre>
The second array is expected to be exactly as $Arr, but it doesn't. This is the output for that code:
array(1) {
["self"]=>
array(1) {
["self"]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}array(1) {
["self"]=>
array(1) {
["self"]=>
NULL
}
}As you can see the second array has a NULL value where the first one had a recursive reference.
Can this be considered as a bug of PHP serialization system?
